Determining the Effect of Irrigation Method on Soil and Yield

Abstract

This thesis investigated how drip and sprinkler irrigation methods influenced soil and crop performance in the semi-arid, saline conditions of Karcag, Hungary. It focused on five vegetable crops: zucchini, tomato, green pepper, beans, and sweet corn. The research aimed to examine the effects of these irrigation methods on soil moisture, salinity, chlorophyll content, and crop productivity. It was explained that assessing water use efficiency and sustainability under these environmental conditions was a central objective. The study was intended to support improved irrigation practices in salt-affected and water-limited regions.
